Zombie Hamlet (2012) d. John Murlowski (USA)
First time director Osric Taylor (Travis Wester), hot off the success of his
Planet of the Apes-inspired fast food chicken commercial, lands a deal to helm his longtime vision of
Hamlet set during the Civil War. Unfortunately, as soon as things get underway, financing falls through and the decision is made to capitalize on the current zombie craze in order to secure additional funds. This bizarre creative compromise is only the first of many that Taylor must undergo to get the Bard in the can, including hiring a C-list action star (Jason Mewes) and the adorable but dim-witted niece (Emmalee Wilson) of the primary investor (June Lockhart) to assay the lead roles.
